About
Cypress Lakes Country Club is the centerpiece of the Ormond community, a neighborhood of more than 500 homes. Blending seamlessly into the surrounding cypress trees, the golf course is both challenging and scenic. You'll have to navigate your way around 17 different ponds that come into play throughout the course. With several forced carries over wetlands, it will feel like there is water at every turn. There are also 40 strategically placed bunkers bordering the greens and fairways. It's a layout that will test your accuracy and ability to strategize. Multiple sets of tees keep scratch golfers happy while beginners can also approach the course with confidence. In addition to the golf course, Cypress Lakes has a practice facility featuring a 400-yard driving range with multiple targets and putting and chipping greens.

Cypress Lakes - Great time
Great course set up very well for the 10 handicapper. Greens and fairways well maintained and in very good shape. Enjoyed and hope to go back soon.
Course is DRY and not In best condition
Course is very dry. Greens are patchy, water hazards are near dry. The course has looked much better in the past. I paid $17 with fees and it was worth that.
Great pace of play always open for a round of golf
Good course to get on after rain. Drains well when you face cart path only at other facilities. The pro shop encourages play and I like to play Great bargain s on golf now
Cypress Lakes

Cypress Lakes
Course was in great shape consideeing the amount of rain we've been getting. Greens are coming around well and roll a little slow but true. Good value.
loved the layout, Houses but not as close to fairways as some others are
there are water hazards if you can you need to go see where they are the layout on score card is not accurate
Good course.
Good value course. Greens could be a little faster.
nice course to play
the course has some tough holes
Good discovery
Last minute find, fun, lots of water. Playing alone first time lots of surprises with waterways crossing or siding fairways . Played 18 in 2 &1/2 hour or so.
Friendly people and pleasant day. Wanted to play more... Will be back now that I know what to watch for!
Just barely ok
Tee boxes needed mowing and a little tlc.
Fairways were ok
Greens need riddance of poa annua and tlc
Don't pay more than $20.
Fun layout
Overall good condition with greens being very good. Fairways thin but it is February. Tee boxes needed attention. A fair but challenging layout.
Great course
Played this course two years ago. Was impressed withe the improvements made. Weather conditions hampered the play but enjoyed the course so much we played on. Look forward to going again with better weather.
Cart Problems
Course in great shape. Our cart barely made it back to the club house. Bad batteries and low tire. Another golfer had a flat. Overall a good experience
Sneaky Water Hazards...
Great Course 15 min from New Orleans Airport, easy in easy out. Greens were good, rolled true with average speed, staff was extremely nice. I will look forward to play here again.
this course has plenty of water
it is truly a test of your approach shots with little room for error. it is a fair but difficult course that will test all aspects of your game with an emphasis on your approach shots with plenty of water protecting the green
Great features
Pleasant surprise. On vacation and wanted to swing my clubs. Surprisingly difficult with plenty of hazards to contend with. My wife and I had a great time.
Tough place to play
Really enjoyed the course, but probably because I played well. This is a tough track. Water on most holes. Rarely can you see the green that you're playing to from the tee. The par 5's are tough to get near/reach in two even for long hitters. Not many easy par 4's & the par 3's are challenging. Played there once before 3 years ago & played poorly, losing lots of balls. Yesterday I used GolfLogix app & without it I'd have been lost. Even when using a guide, it's still tough to play. Must keep the ball straight. Conditions were still very wet on some holes. Greens wasn't bad but pretty different from one to the next. Good value & definitely a challenge for intermediate & experienced golfers.
Fun for Country Club Golf.
Overall the course is nice, but short and simple. This would be a great place for practice. Its not a championship style course. Greens are slow but role nice. It has a feel for a family style country club. There is no pro shop to speak of, so if you need certain golf supplies you need to stop a DICK's Sporting Goods or someone else. If you have family visiting from out of town this would be a quick fix.
Forced to play with other players with no one in sight on course.
I play just about every week on Golf Now courses and this was the first time I have ever been forced to play with another Golf Now player. I could understand if the course was crowded, like on a Saturday morning. But this was noon on a Tuesday. There was no one else around. Played 18 holes and saw maybe three other groups.
Greens were not in the best shape. A lot of bare areas. Sand bunkers are rough around edges with over grown grass. Nice tight course with houses along fairways. Water on all but one hole and usually hidden from view on the tee box. Good selection of long and short holes. Hit it straight or bring plenty of balls.
Fair Test
I've played this course several times over the years, with mixed emotions. I have never been overly disappointed nor overjoyed with the course, but I will say that this round left me with a better than normal thought of the place. Maybe because I played it better than normal! It's a country club type course - homes around it in a nice neighborhood. The course only tips out at 6556 so it's not a long course and at 71.9/126, it's not a terribly difficult course. Local knowledge will go a LONG way here though, and it starts on the first hole. If you don't know there is water right in front of the green, even though it looks like a run-up approach from the right is OK (it's not), you'll be doomed. There are a few places like that, where hazards jump up that you can't see from the tee. Overall, the layout is nice. When I played the greens were slower than they should have been, so putting was a chore. On the front the signature hole is the 7th, which is an interesting par 5. A 513 yard dogleg right, the tee shot is a forced carry over a lake and you have to decide how much you're willing to bite off. If your target is the tree or bunker next to it, note that the fairway is actually BEHIND those landmarks, and it is relatively narrow there. That said, that's a good target line if you are a medium length driver. Safe play is to the left of those landmarks, where a 220-240 yard shot puts you safely in play, but you'll be laying up. Aggressive play is to try and play to the right of the tree - that's going to require about 260-275 yards worth of drive. Short puts you in the rough and hampers your chances of going for the green in 2. The green is smallish, protected in front again by a small arm of that same lake. The back has a couple of interesting holes. The par 4 11th has water crossing the hole in front of the green. The hole runs away from you and toward the water at an odd angle so be careful and take enough club. Water fronts the green at the long par 5 13th hole - make a note of it. The 18th is a great closing hole - good risk reward. Not a long hole at 399, you have to carry water to the fairway. The bunker could be your target line - landing short of it is perfect. To the right of it is aggressive but can be rewarded with a short iron in. Too far right could land you in the water which runs and expands (unseen from the tee) towards a tree which would be the far right edge of your target area. Choose wisely.... Practice area is minimal and subpar. The overall of the facility and course is better than average, but not leaps and bounds better. However if someone says lets head out and play it, you should go. Relative to other courses in the area at that price point ($42 Tues-Fri; $52 Sat & Sun, closed Mondays), it's as good as or better than those courses. It's a little ways from Downtown New Orleans though... If there is a draw, it's the closest semi-private course to the airport, only about 15 minutes from Louis Armstrong International.
